I'll get some minds on to it.<BR/><BR/>I doubt that such a level could be done, though.<BR/><BR/>However, in the future I think I could look at a month (rather than three) and include all SEL stories. I'd be able to compare that month to one of the three I've logged here.<BR/><BR/>Nothing's impossible but I just have to bare in mind that this blog is a favourite hobby not something that pages the wages.<BR/><BR/>Based on the trends I have in my spreadsheets I would predict that SER punches high in every weight you care to measure! <BR/><BR/>It would certainly be interesting to see what percentage of citations blogs managed to have. SER would get between 2% and 10% per day which would compare to SEW's 0.5% and 7%, for example (made up figures, not checked!). I suppose that's a good way to measure the influence/impact of individual blogs!Andrew Girdwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402619137250257058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18266737.post-41809690092463414232007-11-12T22:42:00.000+00:002007-11-12T22:42:00.000+00:00Is it something you can do in the future?

SER posts on average over ten stories a day, compared with SEOmoz which posts maybe one or two. So being cited more often is cool, but of the number of posts, which site is more likely to get cited...
